Buffalo

He was 15 in that photo. Sunday he left us at 18. RIP, little buddy.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's not easy saying goodbye to our pets. :(
 
These bear are in Northwest WA close to the Salish Sea. I think its the place Walt Disney created back when Disney did alot of nature films. It is now called the Olypic Game Farm. http://www.olygamefarm.com/

It was a kick in the pants as many of the animals are free to roam and will stick their heads in the suv window to say Hi. A couple of elk reached in and through oposit windows wile they were being fed. The big one was half way across the back seat trying to reach a bite. A buffalo licked the car door handle and opened the door on my wife.


Bill

Thanks Bill . . . they sure look healthy, now I know why :)

Wow. Love those Yellowstone pictures. Looks like you saw a little of everything. Lucky you.

Thanks Kay. The one thing I didn't see was a wolf! I was bummed in a major way, especially since they had been seen throughout my time there in places I had been to see them. Just missed the timing . . . wrong place/wrong time.

It was a great trip though, so I cannot complain.

It's been a hectic summer ( = working every day :( ). But I finally get around to processing some photos taken during our AZ visit in May.

Photos added to three different galleries:


I'll be adding dialog to the Bear Mountain gallery. Suffice it to say that it's only a 2.4 mile long hike but it has a 1600 foot elevation gain over this distance, which at Arizona altitude, means a tough hike for flat-landers. Throw in the idea that my wife has never done this trail before & I fail to mention to her what was in store this day :cool: You can follow the entire day. Let's just say that my wife is a bit tired on the way down.

Hope you enjoy the images.

what do you know, it worked! Old age and learning how to use all the buttons, bells and whistles of the internet really strains my brain.
 
Great photos Barry. Thanks for sharing your albums with us!
 
Waikiki Beach

The mass of humanity may cause some people to cringe, but Waikiki is always fun to photograph.
 
Playing around with Photoshop with some of my photos taken this weekend. I really like the way this one looks, taken in Columbia County, WI on Sunday 9/30. It was a very foggy morning and I think processing as a B/W really adds to the visual imagery.
